1997 Land Rover Discovery review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After fitting the 3.9 engine with new engine mounts, and then fitting a Range Rover exhaust manifold, the left side manifold touches the chassis, and when the vehicle goes over a bump, a knocking noise travels through the vehicle. Obvious problem is using the Range Rover manifold, just assumed it would not be a problem.
General comments?
Solid, roomy, still a tad underpowered, but overall very good.
